"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything"
- Aaron Siskand
I am Dominika and I am a passionate photographer who wants to capture emotions and help you remember the most precious moments of your life. I love photographing newborn babies, children and families in my cosy studio in Wrexham but I also enjoy working on big events and as a team. Not long ago my passion for photography evolved into filming which I also really enjoy. As a mother of two children I live a very busy life, but being busy keeps me going.
Hi!
My Studio
The Little Munchkin Photography studio is located next to my home in Wrexham. It’s not very big but it’s perfect for newborns, children and family portraits. With plenty of backdrops, props and newborn outfits I can create images for you to treasure forever.
Newborn Photography
Newborn photography sessions are special occasions that capture the early days of a baby's life with timeless images. Expect a calm and soothing environment, where the safety and comfort of the newborn are the top priorities. Sessions can last a few hours, allowing time for feeding, comforting, and multiple poses. Parents can anticipate a mix of candid and posed shots, often using soft blankets and gentle props to create beautiful, serene images. It's a moment to treasure, bringing to life the delicate features and innocence of the newborn.
Maternity Photography
Maternity photography is a wonderful way to capture the essence of expectancy and the beauty of new life on the horizon. Typically, the best time for a maternity shoot is between 28-36 weeks, when the belly is nicely round but the mother is still comfortable for various poses. During the session, expect a mix of guided poses and candid moments, all aimed at highlighting the connection between mother, baby, and family members if they are included. I will ensure that the lighting and angles are just right to capture the glow and emotions of this special time. Comfort is key, so it's common for the shoot to be tailored to the mother's needs, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.
More than just a Newborn Photographer
Starting University pushed me to do projects which were out of my comfort zone. I would have never imagined myself making short films, running personal projects or working for Chester ZOO before, but these are just some of the opportunities I had in the last few years.
Birth photography is something new at Little Munchkin Photography and it is something I have embraced as a photographer. This genre of photography is something I feel close to as a mother and it is something I wish I would have had during my labour.
Don't let the genre scare you, there is raw emotional beauty and energy just waiting to be captured in a labour ward.
Wedding Photography
Wedding photography is a journey through one of life's most cherished moments, capturing the essence of love and celebration. Expect to start with a detailed consultation to understand your unique story and preferences, which often includes pre-wedding engagement sessions to build rapport and comfort. On the big day, a mix of candid moments and meticulously planned shots will come together to tell your wedding story. I will coordinate with family members to ensure every precious moment is captured. With preparation and skill, wedding photography transforms fleeting memories into timeless treasures.
